Study on Luke 22:14-21 (NIV) March 22, 2020 Dr. Clay Brown, MDPC Equipping Pastor

Passage (New International Version) 14 When the hour came, and his apostles reclined at the table. 15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.” 17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. 18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” 19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.[a] 21 But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table. Footnotes: Luke 22:20 Some manuscripts do not have given for you … poured out for you.
